Chapter 265

After the Eighth Elder settled Gu Ming'an, he roared and charged toward the Heavy Sword Peak people outside the door.

Old Eight!

The Gu family elders' faces changed drastically in an instant, yet they couldn't stop the Eighth Elder.

Bang!

A violent energy wave spread out.

The doorframe of the Gu family banquet hall was instantly shattered by the wave!

Moreover, the Eighth Elder spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward, and with a bang he smashed several tables.

You attack on sight—is this how the Gu family treats guests?

A cold voice came from outside the door, and Gu Xiao Dao stared coldly at the five people walking in from outside.

These five people had powerful auras, wore different attire, yet shared one thing in common.

That is, they all wore a sword emblem on their chests!

Obviously, they are all elders of Heavy Sword Peak!

And behind these five people was an old acquaintance of Gu Xiao Dao and the others.

That is Gu Cang Shan's grandson, Gu Han!

For guests, the Gu family will naturally be courteous.

Gu Xiao Dao shielded the injured Eighth Elder behind him, coldly gazing at the five Heavy Sword Peak elders.

A silver longsword appeared in his hand, poised to strike,

But uninvited guests are not worthy of the Gu family's courtesy!

The hard ground beneath Gu Xiao Dao's feet instantly shattered.

But even though Gu Xiao Dao was furious, he still did not act rashly.

If the opponent were merely a Martial Sovereign, even if he fought to the death he wouldn't let them off easy!

But against five Martial Sovereigns, he is no match and can only endure for now.

The leader glanced contemptuously at the injured Eighth Elder, then turned his gaze to Gu Xiao Dao,

Gu Family Head, isn't that a bit distant?

I mean well, accompanying your Gu family's young master back to the Gu family.

Shouldn't you be thanking me?

As the words of Heavy Sword Peak Elder Li Kaisan fell,

Gu Han stepped out slowly from behind him, his face showing no trace of the earlier panic-stricken flight.

At this moment, Gu Han seemed like a victor, overlooking Gu Xiao Dao and the others.

Gu Xiao Dao's eyes narrowed, sword intent surging on his silver blade,

Elder Li, as an outsider, are you trying to meddle in Gu family affairs?

Outsider?

Li Kaisan shook his head lightly,

Gu Han is already married to my granddaughter, making him my grandson-in-law.

My grandson-in-law's family matters are my family matters, and thus the affairs of Heavy Sword Peak!

And how could I be an outsider to the Gu family?

What?!

Upon hearing this, all the Gu family elders wore looks of astonishment.

They knew that Gu Cang Shan had once met Li Kaisan while traveling abroad.

Their relationship was deep, and they even arranged a childhood marriage for their descendants.

But they never expected that, with Gu Cang Shan imprisoned, Li Kaisan would actually choose to let his granddaughter and Gu Han marry early!

And this happened without any elders present on the groom's side!

Could it be that Li Kaisan and Gu Cang Shan's bond is truly that ironclad?

Gu Xiao Dao said with a grim gaze,

Gu Han has long been expelled from the Gu family's genealogy—how could he still be the young master of the Gu family?

Li Kaisan, I respect you as an elder of Heavy Sword Peak, but even Heavy Sword Peak has no right to interfere in Gu family affairs!

His gaze looked further ahead.

If Li Kaisan truly shares a bond of mutual understanding with Gu Cang Shan,

then he should have come to the Gu family at the First Moment after receiving the news to demand an explanation!

After rescuing Gu Cang Shan, holding the wedding would not be too late.

Rather than arriving late after letting the younger generation marry, then coming to blame the Gu family!

This back-and-forth would only cause Gu Cang Shan to suffer several more days in prison.

This is certainly not the act of true bosom friends!

Li Kaisan's intentions are surely not as simple as just letting the younger generation marry!

You foolish, immoral person, dare to speak so arrogantly here?

Li Kaisan gave a low shout, and with a sweep of his sleeve unleashed a violent gale of spiritual energy toward Gu Xiao Dao.

Gu Xiao Dao's expression shifted slightly; to protect everyone, he brought down his silver sword in a fierce strike.

The sharp sword light tore through the spiritual energy gale, slashing toward Li Kaisan's chest.

Li Kaisan seemingly hadn't expected Gu Xiao Dao to be able to break his technique, and in his haste he couldn't dodge in time.

Snort!

The sword light shattered his hastily formed shield.

It left a faint white trace on his chest.

And Li Kaisan's complexion also turned slightly pale.

Seeing Gu Xiao Dao gain the advantage with a single move, all the Gu Family elders present were overjoyed.

This Heavy Sword Peak elder is nothing more than a nominal title!

If they really fought, they might not be a match for the family head!

But to their surprise, Gu Xiao Dao's face showed not the slightest joy; instead, it was extremely grim.

Li Kaisan brushed off the dust on his chest and raised his hand,

"Gu Xiao Dao, you dare to insult your superiors and attack this elder; you deserve death!"

Upon hearing this, each Gu Family elder flew into a rage,

"Heavy Sword Peak is not a superior of my Gu Family; what does 'insulting superiors' even mean?"

"It was clearly you who struck first; the family head was merely defending himself—how shameless!"

The elders all shouted curses at Li Kaisan.

But Li Kaisan paid no heed at all, even curling his lip in a sneer of contempt.

"If sharp words could kill, I would have died a hundred, a thousand times already."

His raised hand slowly lowered,

"By the order of Heavy Sword Peak, all obstinate and insensible members of the Gu Family shall be killed without mercy!"

Gu Han darted behind Li Kaisan the instant his words fell.

Meanwhile, the other four Heavy Sword Peak elders stepped forward one after another, their formidable aura unmistakable!

The aura of five Martial Sovereigns surged wildly, making the Gu Family elders inside the banquet hall feel like tiny boats in a raging storm.

Just keeping the boat steady exhausted all their strength!

"Kill!"

At Li Kaisan's command, the five Heavy Sword Peak elders immediately launched their attack.

A terrifying wave of spiritual power rolled in.

Yet the Gu Family elders had no power to resist!

Their faces were grim, hating their own helplessness!

"Cause trouble in my Gu Family, and you're asking for death!"

Gu Xiao Dao gave a low, grim shout.

Immediately, a grand formation rose within the Gu Family manor.

The air seemed to fill with a killing atmosphere.

The fierce wind slashed by the Heavy Sword Peak elder weakened sharply under the formation's suppression.

The formation's power bolstering Gu Xiao Dao lifted his aura into the mid‑Martial Sovereign stage!

From the first to the fourth stage of Martial Sovereign, that's a full three minor realms' difference!

Gu Xiao Dao gripped his sharp sword tightly and struck out with a sudden blow.

Peak sword intent swept forth, turning into a sharp sword light that instantly broke through the Heavy Sword Peak elder's fierce wind.

"To wield a sword before Heavy Sword Peak, you really think highly of yourself!"

Li Kaisan let out a sinister laugh, and a blood‑red double‑handed heavy sword appeared in his hand!

Under the heavy sword's sweeping strike, it collided violently with Gu Xiao Dao's sword light!
